«oim*tliiiig clocidcclly worth while.
Ifwul the ficcount of it, and watch
for tiu! series of articles on the
World Court that will soon appear
iti the Twig:.
Strange to say, Stuut Night draws
nearer and nearer. It is feared
iliat some of our monthly grades
have also become stunted during the
.'I'oeess, but they come uine times a
yi’iir, while Stunt JJ^ight comes ouly
niee.
The Publications I3oard at Chapel
Hill is threatening the Editor of the
'iar lEecl because the publications
are not delivered promptly. We
shall hasten to the rescue, because
riur.s came quite promptly. In fact,
il>> promptness was what saved the
Board from having eight-at-the-time
iininvited guests.
Cbitorial
Yes, we will admit that we were
truly cut off, but it has given us
a chance to i)lny the news for ano
ther week! And anyway, avc hoped
all along that the 'N. C. C. P. A.
would be postponed.
'J'he silver lining proves to be
tile faet that we did find it out
in time to stay at home- and not go
wiklly over, only to be cut off all
around' because no one could ex-
j)ec-t further permission to fry the
same stunt a«ain.
What about our Chapel conduct?
The most perfect order wo ever saw
was during similar exercises at an
institution foi: tho foebleHininded.
We’re not saying anything else. You
can draw your own conclusions.
Wlicn the ehaperono goes out on
llu( porch during the dates and
slates that the Dean says tho girls
must liiive something around tliem
we ask you, what loes it mean?
With the Soi)liomofOn in the tiiroes
i>f .sonnet A^•riting we .'xpect to see
quite a number as follows:
Sonnet to a Football Player.
Sonnet to a Weinie.
Sonnet to a Week-end Trip to
Wake Forest, Chapel Hill, etc.
Yi.n .see, they are to follow tho
alvice as given, “Look in thy heart
and wi'ite.”
We were asked to write an edi-
toriid on tho weather. We don’t
lielicvo however, that our opinion
vould have any weight in the case.
Xo, we take that back- and’register
a most earnest and heart felt ))lea,
I'nr sunshine. You see, we feel that
«’ay bci-ause something we said last
wi'ck is having a response. We
ntciin rluit matter of cooperation.
\\r haven’t heard frtim tlio ])cti-
tion for Sjitunlay instead of Tbanks-
giviny Day, ljut it ought to get
rhruuyh, because we signed it twice.
This thing of being a Senioi' gets
b(‘tter and b;tter. It is said tliat
riie Senior rings are to be sliipj)ed
lliis week. Can’t you imagine tlie
clegiinre that will Ijr- called foi'lh
wIh’Ii they (h'ink from a glass or
enp? We mean the Seiiicji-s drink
ing- not the rings.
With tile iinnsual Jiumliei' of week-
I'lid sli|)s that were written Uiis week
yon inighl liave thought liiat tiiose
(if IIS who .stayed hero would be ra
ther at ii loss, but it proved quite
tlic (jtlier way, W'itli tlie licl|i given
by ilrs. (.'oi>|xfi- and ifiss Wcdeh,
the Spirit of Hallowe’en reigned
supreme in both dining rooms.
We are proud of tlie fact that
-M(*reditli liad tlie largest delega
tion at the Student conferonce at
Cba])el .Hilt, 'That goes to show
tliat wlieii wo do things, wo do them
W(dl. ileredith also furnished the
|)ianisi, wliile members of our Stu
dent lioily anl Faculty were on the
pr]gram for talks.
WlfAT ABOUT IT?
'I'tiink of it! Fight girls with
llie liest looking (dothes in school,
all curled and rouged and niani-
cnred witiiin an inch of tlieir—
poeket-books and all eight ready
to Ic'avi.' for tho Prc,ss Association
fill' next day. All the above state-
mcnts are corect- for the nuijority
ot eaeli girl’s wardrobe was most
I'l'ohabiy borrowed. And in truth,
they were really ready to leave for
the Association on the twenty-ninth,
fhirtieth, and thirty-'first.
But on the morning before the
departure, one of the party received
an ever welcomo exchange; in .short.
The Tarheel. Now was the time
to look thru’ the paper which was
to bo tho lio.st for the occassion, and
find what plaiis had been nmde for
their entertainment. Eadi page was
carefully perused, but no mention of
such an affair could be found.
“Well!” she thought, “That seems
to bo tho coolest welcome ever put
forth!” A few more minutes of
careful thought brouglit the idea
tiuit there must be a colored geiitle-
nuin in the supply of winter fuel for
the open fire place. And, after con
sultation. with others, and a hur
ried ’phone call, the joker was
found. The -V.ssociation iiad been
postponed two weeks, and, because
of undue negligence on the part of
—well, we’ll be nicc and polite, and
place all the blame on Uncle Sam!
But, wo ask you, can you picture,
gentle reader, eight aindefeiiceless
Jleredith girls landing in tho midst
of Cluipel irill two weeks ahead of
ime? Whore ivould they have gone ?
Who would liavo fed them, *akid
where might they find room to rest
their weary hcad.s? And can you
picture their return to ileredilh
fooc-sore and bedraggled, and—the
conseqiuait wrath which they would
have wished to vent on a certain
gentleman who would most prob
ably have had quite a time con
vincing them tliat the whole blame
lay on the U. S. Government?
But wo will overlook all this for
this time, j)rovided our reader will
overlook our joyous recounting of
the treat in store for this week as
related in last week’s Twig. I'or
now we have both verbal and writ
ten j)roof that the Association is to
be hold the twelfth, thirteonth, and
fourteenth of November, and we do
not intend to even pack our bags
until the morning of tho twelfth, for
fear that another equally important
epistle from Pres. E. G. Mooro has
gone astray. That is all, but we
wish to ask the sympathy of all in
the tragedy so narrowly averted, as
well as their rejoicing with us at tin-
again proved fact that “all’s well
that ends well.”
